About Nina Senesac Crowley

I work at the intersection of obesity care, body composition, and behavior change—helping clinicians and organizations move beyond weight-centric models toward care that’s evidence-based, patient-centered, and compassionate.I’m the Director of Clinical Thought Leadership & Partnerships at seca, where I lead high-impact education, key opinion leader collaborations, and strategic partnerships focused on body composition, muscle health, and metabolic outcomes. This includes creating and sharing clinical education through webinars, practice guides, and my podcast, In the Know with Nina, where I explore obesity care, GLP-1 therapies, and the real-world challenges clinicians and patients face.With a background in health psychology and years in clinical obesity care, I care deeply about how we communicate. Language matters. My work is grounded in behaviorally informed, stigma-aware approaches that build trust and support sustainable change for people living with obesity.I’m also a bit of a professional association volunteer enthusiast—I love working alongside clinicians across disciplines and settings. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Obesity Action Coalition and on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Committee on Lifelong Learning, staying actively involved because meaningful change happens when clinicians learn, lead, and collaborate together.People work with me because I bring rigor, empathy, clarity (and always a side of fun), and because advancing obesity care should feel collaborative, not overwhelming.
